27 Dungeon Simulation

The RWBY mission has come to an end, and it's time for me to dish out rewards to the four participants.

In addition to Iron Man, All Might, Ancient One, and Catwoman, I have also brought over team RWBY themselves, mainly for them to give a test run to the cafe's newest feature later.

""Yang!"" Both Ruby and Blake yell out, rushing towards Yang, who is down on the ground, missing one of her arms. Looks like Adam still got to her, but that works out well for me.

Seeing Yang missing her arm Tony looks uncharacteristically tense and nervously asks me, "Hey can I use my part of the reward to get the kid healed? It was my fault she ended up like that…"

I didn't really bother paying attention to what was happening above ground since I was helping out Ancient One and watching her fight with Cinder.

Quickly using my powers to look back in time to see what went down, I find that while the group of Catwoman, All Might, and Tony were cleaning up the remaining grimm, Adam had attacked Blake just like originally and cut off Yang's arm, who came to help out.

While the fight went on between them, Tony, who was nearby fighting some grimm thought the two girls could take on the faunus without a problem, so he didn't interfere. Unfortunately, once he noticed things going south, it was too late for him to save Yang's arm. He did, however, manage to kill Adam.

Ruby and Blake have decided to ignore the change of scenery around them in favor of worrying about Yang, who is unconscious. Weiss, while clearly being equally worried about Yang, has left the girl to her two teammates and is instead looking around the cafe.

Making my favorite gesture of snapping my fingers, Yang's arm is back as good as new. I have also made sure she won't feel any phantom pains from it being cut off.

"Don't worry about it, this one is on the house," I tell Tony, who looks relieved at his choice back during the mission not being the cause of the girl's missing arm.

"Hey, isn't this place bigger than when we left?" Selina asks now that the Yang situation has been sorted out.

"Yeah, there is a whole new dungeon simulation feature that required a new part of the building to be constructed. In addition to that, we now have a blacksmithy where a goddess of blacksmithing now works." I explained, pointing to the new parts of the building.

The whole cafe is now roughly 4x bigger than before. Jean and Kiara have both been sleeping off the fatigue from building this entire thing.

"I have some new employees as well, but enough about all that for now, let me show you what your actual objectives were."

[Main Mission: Prevent the fall of Beacon Academy]

[COMPLETED!]

[Bonus Mission 1: Invincible Girl - Save Pyrrha Nikos]

[COMPLETED!]

[Bonus Mission 2: Exploited - Get Cinder Fall to leave Salem and join the cafe]

[FAILED!]

[Bonus Mission 3: Armed and ready - Prevent Yang Xiao Long from losing her arm]

[FAILED!]

[Bonus Mission 4: Literally Hitler - Kill Adam Taurus]

[COMPLETED!]

"Damn it…" Tony facepalms at seeing how easily he could have completed the third bonus mission.

"Can't get them all, anyway. Here are your rewards." I say, and even more windows open in front of them.

[Rewards for Main Mission]

[Everyone: 3000 CC]

[Reward for Bonus Mission 1: Invincible girl]

[Ancient One: Unaging - You will not die from old age. Can be turned off whenever the user wishes to stop living.]

Looking at this reward with wide eyes, the Ancient One is dumbfounded. "Isn't this a bit too good of a reward?"

"You were already immortal anyway, thanks to the dark energy. All this really does for you is that you no longer have to draw energy from there to keep living." I shrug.

Despite seeming like a really overpowered reward for the task, she completed it really doesn't do that much for her other than saving her from the shame of drawing power from the dark dimension.

[Reward for Bonus Mission 4: Literally Hitler]

[Iron Man: Techopathy - Control all kinds of technology with your mind.]

"..." Tony has no words for the reward he got, but looking at this face, it is obvious his mind is racing with all the new possibilities.

"Oh yeah, Tony, I have sent your new Aura suit back to your home along with Jarvis," I tell him.

"If you don't mind, I will be going back right away. There are so many things I have to try with Technopathy." He says, and after I not he all but skips out, looking like an excited child once I give him a thumbs up.

The Ancient One bows with her hands clasped together and gives me a farewell before departing the cafe as well.

By now, Yang has already woken up, and team RWBY are patiently waiting on the side for me to finish with the rest.

"How about you two, plan on using your CC now or just saving it for rainy days?" I ask All Might and Selina.

"There is nothing I need now, so I will just keep the CC and take my leave. I have been gone for nearly a week now, so I'm sure there is lots of work to be done." All Might says, turning to take his leave.

"Oh, no need to worry about that. Since there is nobody else from your world that can enter the cafe, I just stopped time there while you were out on the mission." Hearing me, All Might still decides to take his leave but in less of a hurry than before.

Selina leaves as well, choosing to keep her reward for now but says she will return later to look for something to buy now that she has collected over 4000 CC.

With the mission participants gone, that leaves me alone with team RWBY, all of whom are sitting by a table looking nervous.

"Umm…" Weiss starts saying something now that the rest left but doesn't know what to talk about.

Seeing that her teammates don't know what to say, Yang takes the lead with a grin. "Thank GOD you gave me a HAND there. I really needed the help."

Ruby holds her head and groans at her sister, "Yang, did you really have to start off like that!?"

"Eh, It's fine, isn't it? I'm just trying to lighten the mood with you all being so down. It's almost like you three were the ones to get unarmed."

"You're still talking to a god. It wouldn't hurt to be a bit more polite…" Weiss says in a quiet enough voice that she is almost whispering.

The four of them start to converse as normal, almost forgetting about me as Yang continues to make puns and the other three beg her to stop.

Seeing their dynamic, I laugh, hearing that they seem to remember my existence. "Don't worry about the puns, I quite enjoy them," I tell them, and Yang's eyes light up.

"See, someone here appreciates my talent," Yang says, crossing her arms with a proud look.

"Don't encourage her. We're the ones who will suffer for it…" Blake says but appears to resign to her fate of listening to more of Yang's puns in the coming days than ever in the past.

Weiss coughs loudly, making everyone turn to her. "I know you said that healing Yang's arm was free this time but do we really not need to pay anything? I feel like we should at least help out somehow."

Ruby, Blake, and Yang all voice their agreement, wanting to repay me somehow.

"Well, if you really want to repay me, how about you all test run this new feature I just installed for the cafe I call Dungeon Simulation, here, let me tell you more about it..." I say, guiding them to the new part of the cafe.
